Add a two button keypad to the system and label it as Security. 2. Add the keypad to a link on one of the processors. 3. Add a security mode sequence to the HomeWorks QS project under the Program > Sequences tab. Further instructions can be found in the Security Mode - Flash, Force Levels, and Disable Buttons video on the HomeWorks QS site under Education > Online Training > HQWS. 4. Navigate to Program > Devices and select the desired button which will activate the security system. Make it single action with the label Start Alarm.

By utilizing a phantom device, the security controls will not appear in the Lutron Home Control+ app and will only appear in the Alarm.com/apps website. In versions of the HomeWorks QS software prior to 8.0, security mode was accomplished via the creation of an automatic sequence. In version 8.0 and newer, however, there is now the security mode tool under the programming tab. 7. Add a two button keypad to the system and label it as Security. 8. Add the keypad to a link on one of the processors. 9. Navigate to Program > Security Mode and configure the Enter tab. The Enter tab contains the programming that will execute upon starting or entering security mode and Exit contains the programming that will execute when security mode is stopped or the timeout occurs (Figure 3).
